shortly returned with the mayor, who
was greeted with cheers as he took the rOS-
trum and delivered his annual message. At
its conclusion, a ballot for city clerk was Or
dered and resulted as follows: c. A. Corn
man, 10; Selah Matthews, II. The formal
ballot, after several trials, confirmed this,
some one having voted twice for G. A. Corn
man by mistake. For city attorney. Seagrave
Smith and J. N. Cross were nominated and
the informal ballot stood: Smith, 10; Cross,
II. The formal ballot increased Smiths vote

engineer. Aid. johnson leaped to his feet and
taking the opportunity to ring in little po-
litical speech, fattering TO himself and party,
nominated Andrew Rinker. Aid. Gibson said
the Democrats knew good man when they
saw him and he also nominated Rinker, who
was elected by the unanimous votes of the

partment. Thomas F. Mea was chosen meat

THE EVENING SESSION.
Thirty-Six alderme occupied seats in the
council chamber at the meeting last evening
and President Mareck presided in graceful
manner. All the seats outside the railing
lookers-on, but nearly all of them candidates,
and every foot of standing room was also oc-
cupied. The faces of the aldermen were a
study. Ed Johnson looked as smiling as ever
and cracked more jokes than ever before. In
calling the roll Selah Matthews paused two or
three times, as though the eXertiou of calling
out so many names was tresome. When the
presidents name was called he answered not
until the eX-president, AID. Clough, called
his attention to the fact that he (Mareck) was
president. Then Mr.. Mareck blushed and
said there" in subdued voice. There was q
visible stir in the audience when the business
of electing street commissioners and health
inspectors for the various wards was reached
Some of the candidates smiled and some
looked glum and cast appealing chances at
the aldermen from their wards Aid. Stoft

Sixth Observation-Disclosures Smith,
In the afternoon the Democratic aldermen
had Informed their Republican brethren that
instead of forcing the election of Democratic
street commissioners, whom the Republicans
might not like in the various wards where
there were Democratic aldermen, that they
would. If the Republicans would pick aout
five Democrats, elect one of them. This the
Republicans would not do and as q conse-
quence the five Republicans who are elected
are as much Democratic as Republican, and
were in the main supported by the Demo-
cratic side of the house. In nearly every
case was the entire vote of the aldermen cast
for the candidate proposed by Mr.. Gibson.
The four exceptions were when the Republic
cans put for street commissioners NJ. Il.
Spooner, in the Tenth ward; NJ D. Elliott. in
the Twelfth ward; d. NJ Perkins, for health
inspector in the Second ward, and James M.
Trip. for health inspector in the Eighth
ward.
